Thales UK Ltd, with BT plc, offers the UK Government and citizen a coherent approach to Information Assurance (IA), driving affordability into the UK market through economies of scale delivered by broad market access.

Effective, dynamic and coherent IA is critical to the sustainability and credibility of Government and the citizen alike. Data compromise in any form carries severe penalties; a high financial impact, constrained business effectiveness and damage to credibility.

Threats are evolving and public awareness of the implications of data loss is growing. IA has become more important than ever before.

IA delivery has traditionally come with an unpalatable price tag, hindering transformation demanded by growing threats. However, the UK's collective requirement creates a powerful argument for change in a time when delivery of savings is paramount to all.

We offer the benefit of global reach with an unparalleled understanding of all UK IA domains. We understand IA in its broadest context for all UK operating environments; local council to central Government, police forces to hospital, aircraft carrier to the battlefield, and the citizen at work or home.

We live in a complex and constantly changing world. Organisations everywhere are looking for ways to expand the services they provide to their customers while simultaneously tightening their belts and confronting new hazards.
